Great story! I couldn't wait to see what happened in the next episode! Very well-written. I love the way you took the facts and used them to bring out the people's personalities.

I liked that Abbé Trouvé redeemed himself at the end by helping manage the 1704 evacuation and seeing his parishioners to safety. Le Neuf never redeemed himself in my eyes, however.

So the Morins found luck in their exile, being spared what followed. That is quite a twist! Thank you for this series, it was very enjoyable to read.

What a sad story. It’s a good example of the old maxim “Power corrupts, but absolute power corrupts absolutely.”

Ethnic cleansing is exactly the right term.

A little anachronistic perhaps. They didn't call it that at the time, but that was what it was.
